Story Archives: Property tax hike possible


Property tax hike possible
by Scott Rogers - posted E-mail Story E-mail Story | Print Story Print Story 
The existing property tax that funds operations at Ouachita Correctional Center most likely will need to be increased because expenditures at the parish prison outweigh revenues.

That's according to Charles Jackson, a Ouachita Parish police juror who serves as chairman of the police jury's finance committee. Jackson discussed the matter Wednesday with The Ouachita Citizen.

Jackson has been involved in discussions with parish officials and representatives from the Ouachita Parish Sheriff's Office over the past several months on when to ask voters to at least approve a property tax renewal proposition for OCC.
For the full report, see Page 1A of this week's Citizen.
